Awkward Hellos
It’s never easy making new friends
Not for me, anyway It’s always so difficult to think of things to say Maybe I should talk about the weather? I hear it’s a good conversation starter
Maybe I could tell some jokes and puns Like how it’s difficult for an amputee to pick up a conversation because he’s got no hands Okay, sorry That was very paper-like because it’s so terrible Get it? Tear-able? *awkward laughing*
Well… since I failed with that Maybe I could show pictures of cats? I mean, who could resist looking at cute little kitty paws with cute little kitty claws? Doing a cute little kitty pose Having a cute little kitty nose Soooo cute But I can’t keep doing that Ah, crap. Then what? Hmm… *awkward silence*
Okay, think Normal conversation, normal conversation What is that again? I need an explanation
Okay, never mind There’s got to be something else I can find Oh, right! The phone! I browsed the mobile faced like a stone A pop, a message Ah, something to do Okay, for now, I can ignore you
After things were said and done Well, okay, I didn’t say much Just kept trying to think of one I eventually ran out of things to do Well, that’s not really something new
Oh, I can’t keep this up I can’t keep playing games Thinking of names Jokes that are lame My, what a shame
I know, at some point I’ll have to say Things to lighten up the mood someway Despite all that, I know where it’s going to end I’ll have to speak up Ah, well
Hello friend.
